Wetlands Protection: The Forgotten Agenda

  • 342 Accesses

Abstract

As wetlands were left out of the North American Agreement for Environmental Cooperation, this chapter reiterates the importance of dealing with their protection not only at the national level (where Mexico and Canada both lag behind the United States), but also at a regional one as well. In this sense, the current international context of wetlands protection is addressed, presenting the administrative and organizational structures on which wetland protection presently takes place. Included also is a structured analysis of the opportunities and challenges associated with key, present-day North American wetland protection policies.
